Hot off the presses from the VCDL:
GREAT NEWS everyone! I have in hand Senator Cuccinelli's substitute
bill for the restaurant ban repeal and it's just what we wanted! It
is a substitute bill that will replace SB579 in its entirety. Gone
is all the bad, convoluted, confusing language. It now says that we
can carry concealed in a restaurant or club that serves alcohol as
long as we are not consuming. (To consume you will have to carry
openly as you have to do now consuming or not.)
URGENT ACTION!
THIS is where the rubber meets the road ladies and gentlemen. If we
really fight hard for this, I think we stand a real chance of getting
the repeal. BUT we must really go after it, no fooling around. I'm
ready to win this after all these years - how about YOU?
We have only one short week before this bill is heard in committee.
VCDL is gearing up for a huge mailing, but there are 2,400 of you on
this alert list and if all of you respond, that will be a huge push.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A REAL FIGHT AND I AM COUNTING ON YOU - We CAN
win this one! Do this now while it is on your mind and timely.

Subject: Support the Substitute SB579!
Dear Senator,
Please support Senator Cuccinelli's substitute SB579 bill that allows
a concealed handgun permit holder to carry concealed in a restaurant
or club that serves alcohol AS LONG AS THE PERMIT HOLDER IS NOT
CONSUMING ALCOHOL. This is an extremely important bill to gun
owners, who have made major concessions to get the ban repealed.
Please report SB579 out of committee and vote for it on the Floor!
Sincerely,
<your name>
<your address>
2. If you are a CONSTITUENT of any one of the following Senators,
PLEASE take a few minutes to CALL his office and leave a message
about supporting the SUBSTITUTE SB579. Tidewater, we NEED you! I
can't emphasize enough how important this is. Be sure and mention
you are a constituent and provide your name and address. If you get
a recording, just leave the message with your name and address. Here
is the list with their Richmond office phone number:
Senator Stolle, Virginia Beach area, 804-698-7508
Senator Norment, Williamsburg area, 804-698-7503
Senator Quayle, Chesapeake area, 804-698-7513
Senator Blevins, Chesapeake area, 804-698-7514
Senator Rerras, Norfolk area, 804-698-7506
Senator Edwards, Roanoke area, 804-698-7521
3. If any of you any contacts in restaurants in Norfolk, especially
any Greek restaurants, have them call Senator Rerras and ask him to
support the substitute SB597 that allows permit holders to carry
concealed in their restaurant as long as they are not consuming
alcohol. Your efforts on this would be greatly appreciated!
4. If you are a member of any other lists, clubs, etc. get the word
out (especially those of you in the Tidewater area - Virginia Beach
Rifle and Pistol Club, Lafayette Rifle and Pistol Club, etc). (I
will put this up on packing.org) We want to flood the committee and
Senate with support!
